Wrong field is parsed when the "logicalType": "uuid" value is set on a field

[edude03]

So this is a strange issue. It seems like if "logicalType": "uuid" is set, it parses the value next field instead of the existing one.

Take a look at this example:

use uuid::Uuid;
use std::str::FromStr;
use serde::{Serialize};
use avro_rs::{Reader, Writer, Schema};

#[derive(Debug, Serialize)]
struct Event {
    id: Uuid,
    event_type: String
}

fn main() {
    let raw_schema = r#"
    {
        "type": "record",
        "namespace": "something",
        "name": "TimelineEvent",
        "fields": [{
            "name": "id",
            "type": "string",
            "logicalType": "uuid"
        }, {
            "name": "event_type",
            "type": "string"
        }]
    }
    "#;

    let schema = Schema::parse_str(raw_schema).unwrap();

    let e = Event {
        id: Uuid::from_str("596a6c76-b398-4458-8b25-e5451850a7da").unwrap(),
        event_type: "user_created".to_string()
    };

    let mut writer = Writer::new(&schema, Vec::new());
    writer.append_ser(&e).unwrap();

    let serialized = writer.into_inner().unwrap();

    let reader = Reader::new(&serialized[..]).unwrap();

    for v in reader {
        println!("The length of the next field (event_type) is {:?}", &e.event_type.len());
        println!("{:?}", v.unwrap());
    }
}

Which produces:

Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 1.21s
     Running `target/debug/avro-bug-repro`
The length of the next field (event_type) is 12
thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: ConvertStrToUuid(Error(Parser(InvalidLength { expected: Any([36, 32]), found: 12 })))', src/main.rs:46:28
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Removing the logical type "fixes" this issue, but I guess that's not really the solution.

So the Uuid is actually not getting encoded at all into the payload sadly :( #188 is a workaround, but I think I need to read more about serde first, to see if there is another way to coerce to the correct type.
